That was probably done by Sendmail, since the file would have had CRLF
line endings when transmitted over SMTP, and the Microsoft standard
line ending is also CRLF. Exim does the same thing. However the bug is
assuming that line ending format will be preserved, the bug is either
Adobe's or Microsoft's.
